The team at Staysafe PPE are working with customers across the UK, laundering, inspecting, pairing and returning their gloves and Kevlar sleeves.
We wanted to share with you some simple data on savings in the hope that your interest will be piqued enough to get in touch and let us talk about how we can help your organisation.
How did we help a fellow MIM Member?
Since February we have been collecting a fellow MIM member's dirty Kutlass Gloves, Tornado Electroflex gloves and Kutlass Kevlar sleeves. They have also sent us their rigger gloves which we cannot launder, but we do send for incineration.
Between the end of February and the end of April we have laundered 6409 of the 3 products and returned 5898.
The fall out of 511 was where gloves, once washed were found to have damage and be unsafe for reuse. These were sent for inceneration by Staysafe. There was no fall out on Kevlar sleeves.
Savings made per glove were £2 per pair in Kutlass Gloves, £3.50 on Tornado Electroflex gloves and £2 per Kevlar sleeve. The total saving made since the first wash at the end of February to the end of April were £12,698.
These savings were based upon cost of washing vs cost of purchasing like for like replacements. We have not included cost savings for the disposal of the soiled gloves.
How are cost savings achieved?
The savings achieved are quite simply from not replacing the gloves.
Like many companies, prior to using Staysafe's service, they were disposing of their dirty gloves and Kevlar sleeves.
Now the company are achieving a longer lifespan for the gloves and as the cost of laundering them is lower than the cost of replacing them, it's a quick and simple saving.
We of course cannot add a monetary figure on savings made to the environment.
